Summary
Ted Carstensen, deputy administrator of the U.S. Digital Service (USDS), resigned instead of accepting Elon Musk’s “Fork in the Road” dubious resignation offer for federal employees.
USDS was recently renamed the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) under Trump’s executive order, but its staff has continued operating separately from Musk’s team.
A federal judge delayed the resignation deadline pending a February 10 hearing.
Carstensen cited personal reasons for leaving, while USDS employees face internal disruptions, including changes to communication tools and organizational structure.
Yes you are right, I think that we are seeing the preparations for it already.
But the real turning point is when they make it so there is no fair elections. They haven’t done that yet, but it certainly looks like it’s the way they are heading.
